Richebourg, Domaine Jean Grivot 2016

Here too there is a touch of wood hovering in the background of the reticent but wonderfully spicy, airy and cool array of mostly dark berry fruit and floral aromas. The tautly muscular and intensely mineral-driven large-scaled flavors possess innate power that drench the palate in dry extract while delivering gorgeous depth and length on the dusty and youthfully austere finish that goes on and on. This is magnificent though like the Clos de Vougeot and the Echézeaux, it would be virtually pointless to open a bottle young and besides, there is so much potential that it would be a shame to waste it. 2038+
